After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Went To the Countryside and Was Pinched By a Rough Man and Pa

Chapter 204: Chopping firewood to identify people

Xia Zhi finally managed to carry his things back to the dormitory after a lot of effort.

When the summer solstice arrives, people in the dormitory have already returned from get off work and are busy washing vegetables, laundry, cooking, etc. Noisy sounds can be heard.

Xia Zhi is not here today. Li Zhaodi has become familiar with the people here. Moreover, Li Zhaodi is also very smart. She found ways to exchange for food and furniture from the village.

 Seeing Xia Zhi come back, he hurriedly helped her move her things into the house.

“Xiao Xia, you have bought a lot of things. You must be tired. If you need any help next time, just call me.”

Li Zhaodi was eager to show her enthusiasm, so Xia Zhi helped her on the way anyway.

 I owe Xia Zhi a great favor.

“Okay, sister-in-law, don’t worry, I will definitely ask you for help if anything happens in the future.”

Xia Zhi was too embarrassed to ask for help, so she took two of the eggs she bought and stuffed them into Li Zhaodi's hand. Li Zhaodi hurriedly pushed them away.

                              What does this mean? How about I help you move things and you give us eggs? "

 “Why doesn’t this work?

Take it back and give it to Xiaohong, and take a look at Dabao. He is thin and small and needs to be supplemented. The child needs to start adding complementary foods.

 We have to go to work tomorrow. You have to take care of the child's affairs today. He should be sent to the nursery. He needs to contact the nursery. "

 Xia Zhi still couldn’t help but feel soft.

 She was not a cruel person in her last life.

“The nursery here is too expensive, and only the children of regular employees can be sent there, but I have already contacted the sister-in-law next door.

 Her husband works on a chicken farm, and she has no job.

 So if you are free at home, you can help me take care of the children, but I have to give her 6 yuan a month. "

Xia Zhi was a little impressed with Li Zhaodi. It seemed that Li Zhaodi’s ability to survive was quite strong.

 His hard work this day has not been in vain.

Not only did he arrange for his two children to be taken care of before going to work, but he also apparently got food and other supplies back.

Looking back at myself, it took a lot of time to go to the county seat.

 There was not even firewood.

　　Although it is not dark yet, it is obvious that there will be no time to collect firewood.

 While Xia Zhi was packing his things, he felt a little depressed because he couldn't get firewood today.

You can't light the kang or cook tonight, so what will you do tomorrow?

 It can’t just be delayed forever.

After thinking about it, Xia Zhi put away her things, turned around and went out. Unexpectedly, she saw an elder sister-in-law holding an ax in her hand.

 Looking like he’s about to go out.

Xia Zhi hurriedly followed without saying a word.

“Sister-in-law, are you going to chop wood?”

As soon as Liu Cuifang heard this, she looked back at Xia Zhi and asked with a smile,

“Hey, comrade, are you one of the two new comrades?”

“Sister-in-law, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Zhi.

What is your last name? I thought you might be going to chop wood. I've been busy all day and haven't chopped wood yet. Why don't you take me with you? "

“Why are you so literate? You young intellectuals are the ones who speak sourly. My surname is Liu and my name is Liu Guifang.

Let’s go and chop some firewood before it gets dark. "

Xia Zhi said as he left, but when he saw the ax in Liu Guifang's hand, he immediately stopped. He had no skills at all.

"Sister-in-law, I don't have an axe." This is embarrassing. I only thought of buying other things, but I really didn't think of preparing an axe.

"What's the point? Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, let me borrow your ax for a use."

Liu Guifang is a cheerful person. She immediately shouted twice towards the house next to her and knocked on the window with her hand. Sure enough, a big boy inside hurriedly handed over an ax and came out.

“Sister-in-law, I still have a pot sitting on the fire.”

 Xia Zhi hurriedly took it over,

“Comrade Xiao Wu, thank you. I’ll send it back to you after I’m done using it.”

The young man smiled,

 “Okay, you can use it, and just bring it back to me when you’re done.”

Xia Zhi and Liu Cuifang walked out one after the other. After about 15 minutes, they saw a hill in the distance.

“Comrade Xiaoxia, you are new here, I will tell you that we usually cut firewood on this mountain.

This mountain is a treasure mountain.

Not only can you cut firewood, but there are also a lot of reeds and orange stalks left over in the summer. There are a lot of them here. "

 “These are good things to use as firewood.”

“Our chicken farm only has two days off every month.

 Normally in these two days, we have to cut enough firewood for half a month. "

“Look at your little arms and legs, can you chop them off?”

 Liu Cuifen made fun of the Summer Solstice.

 She has seen a lot mainly from the educated youth who came here.

The name of an educated youth sounds nice, but when it comes to work, it is really not flattering.

For example, when the educated young women from the city come here to cut firewood, they basically can't do any heavy work.

Not only can’t you cut much firewood, but you can also easily hurt yourself if you don’t move.

“Sister-in-law, I’ve also done heavy work. Don’t worry, you don’t have to worry about the work. Maybe I’m better than you.”

People these days practice modesty and restraint, but they still have to show their strength in work, otherwise they will inevitably be excluded. People these days like hard-working people.

As expected, Liu Cuifang had a surprised expression on her face when she heard this.

“Oh, I didn’t expect to say this. I want to see if you, little girl, are better than me?”

The two of them entered the small woods at the bottom of the mountain. Sure enough, as soon as they entered the woods, they found that this was indeed a good place to cut firewood. It seemed that the surrounding villagers also came here to cut firewood.

 It is a tree species that grows quickly and is most likely to burn.

The most surprising thing is that there are a lot of pine trees nearby. There are thick pine needles falling under the pine trees. These things can also be used as firewood when taken back.

At this moment, Xia Zhi feels a little regretful. He didn’t bring a sack when he came. If he had a sack, it would be a good thing to put it back to start a fire.

As expected, after Xia Zhi started working, Liu Cuifang immediately raised her eyebrows and had to give a thumbs up.

“You’re a pretty good girl, I didn’t expect you to be quite capable.”

Xia Zhi said while chopping firewood,

“Sister-in-law, please stop talking and hurry up. I’ve finished cutting, and I’ll help you cut here and there.”

Liu Cuifang started to work as soon as she agreed. The two of them worked together very quickly. One person chopped and the other collected the firewood.

 Two people took turns carrying the firewood back.

Not to mention, Liu Cuifang had to admire the faster speed. It seemed that the female educated youth who came this time was quite capable of working.
